Aluminum Producers in China ‘Losing Money,’ May Reduce Output
“At these prices all aluminum producers in China are losing money,” said Jia Zheng, a trader at Soochow Futures Co. “So far we haven’t heard of any output cuts yet. Producers will try to maintain output for a long as they can because it is costly and time-consuming to restart idled capacity.”
We've been in this business a long time. With our experience, we're going to have ideas for change combinations that probably haven't occurred to you.
A lot of people don't realize that change is a two-way street.
How do you make money doing this? The answer is simple. Volume.

Moreover, training plumbers to be java programmers (or vice versa) will do nothing but waste money while offering false hope and a burden of long-term student debt that cannot be paid back.
Speaking as a former computer programmer, I think that's excellent advice. Here's my advice for what it is worth.
Do what you are naturally good at. I don't care what that is. It could be plumbing. It could be fixing cars. Don't train to be something you are not. I had a love of programming. Algorithms fascinated me. It requires a love of programming to do well though.
I want you to picture being a book author. You can train all you want by studying every nuance of the English language. That won't guarantee you'll be a good writer though. You might just not write anything people would actually pay to read.
I enjoy writing this blog but I don't expect to be paid for it. I'm just not that good and the competition is enormous. English has never been a strength of mine. It's been math first, ask questions later, lol.
In summary, I think the best chance at happiness is to simply find a job you love to do. Chances are you will be better at it than your competition and it might not even seem like work. Win win.

Hmmmm, now if only I could find a way to get paid for playing Borderlands.
: )
I thought I was going to have to wait till this fall (release of Fallout - New Vegas) to have a game that I enjoyed playing, but this Borderlands is simply fantastic!
watchtower,

Game testing
Testers with less than three years experience earn an average of US$25k while testers with over three years experience earn US$43k. Testing leads, with over six years experience, earn on an average of US$71k a year.
Just a thought! Of course, they won't limit you to just testing games like Borderlands. You might also find yourself testing...

I'd need hazard pay, lol. ;)
I think I could work that Karaoke Revolution to my advantage if it involved me actually singing, it wouldn't be long till they would pay me not to test it : )
watchtower,
I think we could retire you if we sang a duet together.
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
I do sing a pathetic Stevie Nicks and a contemptibly inadequate Tom Petty, lol.
